it's usually a CYA more than anything. hiring decisions are really important and the biggest PITA if you get them wrong. so most "risk averse" people want as many people to sign off as possible so that they can say hey, we all fucked up together

No typo. 19 separate interviews, several of which were panel style. Going through Glassdoor.com descriptions of our interview process is hilarious.

That's insane. What kind of job?

Senior VP of HR, of course.

We seem to hire a lot of people by passing them around until they "click" with a group or a particular position. This means that they'll go through a whole round of interviews without receiving an offer, then several months later go through the same process with a different team, and so on, until they find the right fit and finally get an offer. It's retarded, but it rewards persistence. By the time someone has survived that process they have demonstrated that they are very serious about coming to work here.

Politicians who want to return us to a 'Beautiful Yesterday.' And to think the election is not till the middle of September. Fuck me what a long hard winter of discontent and swearing at the TV beckons.
